I'm sortof meaning if things don't worsen. I agree things could worsen a lot over that time.
Unfortunately her parents or those who potentially moulded her views won’t soon face charges, if ever.
The hypocrisy from this lot. It's not surprising, but I do wonder what has been said behind closed doors?
White people aren’t valid targets.
Very true. Someone needs to explain to me how thes crazies can afford to be decked out head to toe in crye tactical gear though. Easily a grand, and that's without including all the armour. Must be what all the stimulus cheques are being spent on.
To Piers Morgan?I got banned for 18 hours on Facebook for saying "nice arse"
I'd ban you too.
"Antifa" is trending on twitter. Going through the tweets, this is quickly establishing itself as the go-to right wing explanation for all of this, with parts of the establishment right zooming in as well.
Certainly.
Tom Cotton.....welcome to the Resistance?
Well if it's been going on for decades when do you think it will end? How soon can you get started?
It probably won't begin to be fixed until you look at each other more positively, a bit more positively then by de-humanising each other. My country is just a little older than yours, it's got problems too but on the scale of America you are supposed to be the biggest and the best, the shining example for everyone else to follow.
Doubtful. This will have been armed security whose purpose is to protect the Representatives at all costs.
nah that shit is sold in Walmart, Bass Pro Shops, in fact any sporting goods store. These gun-loving virgins go mad for it. I'm willing to bet Dwayne has got stacks of it too.
That stuff is not really that expensive. I'd wager most are wearing empty plate carriers to achieve a tacticool look.
Yes.
The pain of losing her is enough frankly. none of those morons will face charges anywy
It's a flag of St George and they like it cause of the crusades. It's not meant to be Georgia the state.
Nah, I have some surplus Northern Irish Level IV body armour but I bought it for shits and giggles a number of years ago and it rarely comes out of the box. It's probably all mouldy now.
The problems run deep in this country. Federalism has its limitations, we are seeing the acute nature of such now. Toss in the absurdity of two party rule when platforms can just be switched with no consequence to the party switching them.
Our exceptionalism mantra worked well when there was an ideological battle with another superpower. We could somewhat con people to the joys of America.
Now that we’re left to our own devices & cant rally our citizens internally to hate something externally, we find ourselves in the current morass.
And it seems that more hardline measures might be necessary to deal with those who engage in such actions as today in order to approach a critical mass that might result in some true change.
Maybe so, but the potential consequences are far less than the potential consequences of whatever deranged act(s) that a clearly unhinged Trump might well take in the next 13 days - e.g. ordering a nuclear strike on Iran, or persuading a rogue military unit to advance on the capital with orders to detain everyone on Congress.
I wouldn't put anything past this man. He is desperate and crazy.
Moreover, the lesson of history is that you must face fascists down - so if his hardcore supporters react badly and resort to guns, then you send in the police and FBI to meet force with force. Once a few of them are shot dead, if needed, most of the rest will melt away like the pretend soldiers they are.
Oh, ok
How can you rationalize with people who hold either of these two views?
Sadly, you’re probably right. Doubt Rittenhouse’s parents will ever see any criminal indictments either.
Pence looking like the republican who have gained most from today's shambles. 2024?
You can't and you shouldn't be expected to.
Ah her being 16 is quite sad, in fairness. A lot of teenagers are thick as shit, she would've been 12 when Trump was sworn in. Prime candidate for brainwashing by parents etc.
Many are saying that the fault lies with us, that we are not trying to find common ground with them & rationalize / compromise with them.
I've no idea what these people were thinking. Go in, stop the count and then what? Don't think this was thought out very well because they could have done some serious damage if they wanted to. And as someone mentioned spies or operatives from other enemy countries could just blended in with the crowd and made their way in, accessed the servers through Pelosi or anyone else's computers that were apparently logged in, planted Spyware, recording devices, planted a bomb or just killed someone to trigger a mass shooting. And after all that they could have just walked out of there. Why on earth did the cops just retreat all the way back to the chambers?
I'm really surprised that just one person was killed.
I'm really surprised that just one person was killed.
She wasn't 16.
Fair enough. They must charge militaries extra because the genuine stuff is like £200-300 just for the trousers!
ah well...feck her, the daft cow.
It just silly tbh.
